The ReplicaKeyMap type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	ReplicaKeyMap(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext)	Initializes a new instance of the ReplicaKeyMap class by using serialized data.
	ReplicaKeyMap(SyncIdFormatGroup, SyncId)	Initializes a new instance of the ReplicaKeyMap class by using the specified ID format schema and associated replica ID.

	GetHashCode	(Inherited from Object.)
	GetObjectData	Serializes the replica key map data to a specified SerializationInfo object.
	GetType	(Inherited from Object.)
	LookupReplicaId	Gets the replica ID that corresponds to the specified replica key.

Remarks

Replica IDs repeatedly occur in the metadata for a replica and are suggested to be 16-byte GUIDs. Because of this, it is more efficient to represent replica IDs by using a map between replica IDs to 4-byte replica keys. Replica keys are then used where references to particular replicas are required.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
